The Mirrored Staircase: a guest post and crowd-funding campaign by Rico Lamoureux

Like
all of you, I grew up mesmerized by horrific storytelling. The
buzz-cutting and meat hooks of Leatherface... Freddy's razor-sharp
glove and twisted sense of humor... The flesh-tearing expertise of
Pinhead and his demonic cenobites... (The character of Jules and her
Cenobites Cove in my novella,
Starving
For Genius,is
somewhat of a homage to the film series).

Fangoria
was my magazine of choice, and if you would have asked me back then
what I was going to be when I grew up I would have said a special
effects make-up artist. But it turns out destiny had other plans for
me, as I am now an author of multi-genre novellas, but horror indeed
helped shape in me a talent for storytelling. And now I've taken that
passion for dark tales and have written a set of graphic novellas
entitled The Mirrored Staircase Trilogy.

A
story of innocence, betrayal, and revenge, the bloodshed is as
cringe-worthy as the enthralling sick shit we grew up on, while the
sex goes beyond R! So yeah, definitely not for the little tween
twihard fuckers!

I've
started a crowd-funding campaign to help me raise funds for the
hiring of an illustrator, and those who contribute will actually be
getting over 30% off what the cost of the trilogy will be, as well as
an opportunity to own a signed piece of artwork!

If
you'd like to help get this intense story launched in time for
Halloween 2014, check out the following link.

With
your support, we're going to change how people look at straight
razors, along with the mirrors in their bathrooms!
